Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Charles Demuth achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in November 2017. In the American Art Online auction, the work Acrobats No. 5 sold for USD 15,000.00 (€ 12,607.16) - well above the upper estimate of USD 7,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Charles Demuth achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work In The Key Of Blue in December 2013 with an auction result of USD 1,685,000.00 (€ 1,222,875.39).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Charles Demuth erzielte im November 2017 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion American Art Online wurde die Arbeit Acrobats No. 5 für USD 15.000,00 (€ 12.607,16) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 7.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Charles Demuth erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit In The Key Of Blue im Dezember 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.685.000,00 (€ 1.222.875,39).
